Neymar notched a century of goals Sunday for Barcelona, finishing off a 4-1 victory over 10-man Granada with a simple tap-in in second-half stoppage time.

He is just the third Brazilian to score 100 times for the Blaugrana in all competitions, joining countrymen Rivaldo (130) and Evaristo (105), according to Opta.

The 25-year-old has struggled to match his pace from the past two seasons. With just eight La Liga tallies, Neymar is tied in 16th among all scorers in the Spanish top flight.

It is no surprise, however, that the right-footed Brazilian has registered the majority of his goals on his predominant pad:

Earlier in the campaign, the former Santos star went 10 La Liga matches without rippling the mesh, a frustrating stretch that lasted from October to late January.

But he now has five goals in his past five club appearances, including two in the sensational 6-1 defeat of Paris Saint-Germain.
